WHATIF? → A horticulturalist breeds orchids, trying to obtain a plant with a unique combination of desirable traits. After many years, she finally succeeds. To produce more plants llke this one, should she crosibreed it with another plant or clone it? Why?

These plants form when a complete set of chromosomes fails to separate during meiosis creating plants with extra chromosomes. What type of mutation has this result? O frameshift O nondisjunction substitution O translocation esc 4. 5n
You are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a mutagenesis screen to identify mutants in the photoperiod pathway. You conduct the screen and find two different plants that show the same mutant phenotype. You then use a complementation test. What is the predicted outcome of this test if both phenotypes are caused by mutations in separate genes? recover the wild type phenotype overexpress the gene O recover the mutant phenotype
. In the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, a geneticist is interested in the development of trichomes (small projections). A large screen turns up two mutant plants (A and B) that have no trichomes, and these mutants seem to be potentially useful in studying trichome development. (If they were determined by single-gene mutations, then finding the normal and abnormal functions of these genes would be instructive.) Each plant is crossed with wild type; in both cases, the next generation (F1) had normal trichomes. When F1 plants were selfed, the resulting F2’s were as follows: F2 from mutant A: 602 normal; 198 no trichomes F2 from mutant B: 267 normal; 93 no trichomesa. What do these results show? Include proposed genotypes of all plants in your answer. b. Under your explanation to part a, is it possible to confidently predict the F1 from crossing the original mutant A with the original mutant B?
